HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lovage Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Lovage Root Glycerite Liquid Extract. Lovage is a plant root prepared as a liquid extract in glycerin.

The product also contains glycerin and chocolate flavor as inactive ingredients to make it palatable.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Lovage product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lovage's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that lovage root works for diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage related to diabetes). The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness for this use.

If you're considering lovage for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the current research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lovage

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lovage root from food amounts is generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts like this one have limited safety data and need caution. The main adverse effect concern with long-term use is an increased risk of photosensitivity—your skin becomes more prone to sunburn and skin reactions when exposed to sun or UV light.

A rare case of contact dermatitis has been reported from undiluted lovage oil applied directly to skin. For pregnancy, the safety data advises against it because lovage may stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so it's best avoided. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lovage.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 75 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take diuretics (water pills like furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide, or chlorthalidone). Lovage root may interfere with how these medications work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lovage root is worth a conversation with your pharmacist if you take a diuretic—the interaction is real, even if it's not Major severity. If you use it, be cautious about sun exposure because long-term use can increase photosensitivity.

Avoid it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Lovage Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Lovage Root Chocolate Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lovage Root Chocolate Flavor has a known interaction with 75 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lovage Root Chocolate Flavor contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is lovage root, and what is it used for?
Lovage is a plant root used in herbal medicine and cooking. This product contains a concentrated liquid extract. The evidence we hold doesn't establish that lovage root works for diabetic kidney disease, so talk with your pharmacist about whether it's the right choice for your needs.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—the safety data advises against lovage root in pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and menstrual flow. There also isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What side effects should I watch for?
The main concern with long-term use is photosensitivity—your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight and can burn or react more easily. A detailed safety assessment hasn't been done, but one rare case of skin inflammation from undiluted lovage oil applied directly to skin has been reported. If you use this product, avoid excessive sun and UV light exposure.
Why is there a sun sensitivity warning?
Lovage contains compounds that can make your skin more reactive to ultraviolet light. With long-term use, this increases your risk of sunburn and other light-triggered skin reactions, so you'll need to limit sun exposure and use sun protection.
